Any other new moms that could use some support?

I am a new mom that is struggling with weightloss...I gained a large amount, and its taken me 10 mos to actually get serious about losing weight...and its been so hard! I would love to connect with some other moms in the same boat~

  • Hi, feel free to add me. I have 3 children & I've gained a total of 60lbs in a 7 yr stretch. I know how it feels to struggle with weight loss & it sucks because the lbs are easier to gain than to lose. If you need some to chat with I'm available!

    Good luck on your weight loss journey... :-)

    I have a 10.5 month old and am fortunate to be nearing the end of my weight loss journey, but we ALWAYs need support from other moms! Also, we have a Post Partum Pack group that has some other great people on it.

    I've managed to work off the 60lbs I gained during pregnancy and then some - currently working towards that illusive ideal weight!

    Hello!

    My baby girl is 4 months old and my son is 23 months old. We've been busy! I gained 23lbs with my son, lost it all within a week, granted I was still overweight! Joined a gym to get out of the house when he was 7 months old. Lost another 10 lbs, got pregnant (on purpose! lol). Then I gained 46 (FOURTY SIX) lbs! I breastfeed and am limiting calories (but not too much) and am just starting to try to get out and walk a few days a week. I am down 42 lbs as of today! 4 more to go until pre pregnancy of my daughter, and then I need to lose another 12 to stop being "overweight" and into a "normal" weight.

    I am a mom of a busy 3 year old daughter and finally getting in the right track to getting off the excess weight. I do weights training 3 days a week and cardio on 2 or 3 of the days I dont lift.

    Mamma of three boys here, an almost 4 year old, a 2.5 year old and a ten month old. To say my house is a mess is an understatement. I decided to join MFP because I can at least control what I eat even if I cannot control my environment.

    I'm a mom of a 2 year old and 10 week old. I have always struggled with my weight but I am currently the heaviest I've ever been. I want to lose this pregnancy weight, the 10 lbs left over from my first pregnancy and the 15 lbs I gained while I had a broken foot before/during my first pregnancy. I want to get pregnant again in a few years but I am not allowing myself to do so until most of this weight is off. I could use support. I am so tired all the time and would rather sleep than go to the gym. Feel free to add me!

    I would ALWAYS rather sleep than do anything else. It's overwhelming. But then the few times my husband makes it so I can nap? And I can't sleep. But no way I'm going to a gym, would be a waste of money for me right now...

    Keeping track of what I actually put in face has been helping and I'm going to try to add walking since my son only wants to be outside now!

    Hi Mommies :) Feel free to add me :) I could definitely use some support, and give some too :)
    I'm a SAHM of a 6month old little girl. I've struggled with weight since my teens, but having Mikayla has really motivated me to do something about it. Its been super difficult to get started, after a c-section, a baby who never wants to be put down etc. But here I am. Just did day 3 of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and feeling a lot better about myself and my future weght :)

    I love meeting other moms! I have 3 aged 4 and under and all were via c-section. While I did gain some of my weight during each pregnancy, I gained most of it after my 3rd. I had a tubal done because I had to have a c-section anyway and seriously underestimated how long that would take to heal. Instead of getting my eating habits under control while I waited to be able to exercise, I let myself get depressed and ate. A lot. I would eat those stupid Little Debbie vanilla cakes by the box. There's almost 1200 calories in one box. I didn't notice how much weight I had gained because I couldn't stop wearing my maternity clothes after my surgery anyway. When I finally realized it, I just sat and cried. So now I'm working hard to get back into my old clothes. I only really gained 30 pounds, but I want to go lower than my initial weight. I started this app at 159 (almost 160) and am working to get down to 105. I'd love to have some more mom friends and be able to offer support and encouragement as much as I can. Feel free to add me!
